Ropes. Restricted movement. That was the first thing Jackson noticed when he opened his eyes. That was all he needed to know that he had been taken.He knew that the red head was a bad idea from the set go. He just didn’t listen to himself. It made him wonder if everything had been orchestrated by Laura. He had earlier closed when he felt a heavy hand punch him across the face. Then came the butt of the gun. Everything went black.“You are awake” a deep voice interrupted his thought process. Jackson wasn’t only bound hands and feet. He had a big rope tied across his chest and made his hands immobile.“you guys didn’t need to tie me—” Jackson began.“ Shut the fuck up” the scary looking man said. “ you are the one who gives the orders”Jackson rolled his eyes. Hitmen were always dumb. The rope was tied well but not enough. He could shrink his body and the rope on his arms would fall off. He could do the same to his hands. It was just that the man would have to leave for him to do
The atmosphere in the room had changed. Laura glared at Henry with so much hate to the extent that, If she cried it would be nothing but hate and not tears. Henry on the other hand was smirking. That was not how he felt on the inside. Smug and full of himself. Nah. He hated Laura as much as she did to him. His own could even be worse but he once heard that smiling or smirking when a person was pissed, made the other person angrier.In this moment, the only good thing better than his hatred for her was his ability to make her pissed. And hell yeah Laura was pissed. She was this close to pulling the trigger on him.“I hate you “ Laura gritted her teeth.“ Nah that’s stale news” Henry chuckled. “ and guess what the feeling is mutual”“You know, we could make something out our anger. What if we date and—” Henry began smiling “I will rather stick pins in my eyes than be with you” she sneered.“that’s intense” Henry said. “ If you were the last person on Earth with water and I was in fi
As Elena made her way through the airport, she spotted a remorseful Danny with a big cardboard, written I’m sorry.People smiled at them. Elena masked her intentions by smiling at him.“Don’t embarrass me Danny” she said in clenched teeth as she smiled in the public face. They got to the apartment and Elena was about to scold him for sending people to watch but she stopped. She realized that whatever Lee had told her was in secret.“Please forgive me baby” Danny begged as he knelt.“Okay I will but give me time”’ she said. But that was a lie. On her way back to the country, Elena’ had decide to break with Danny. It was just that, she didn’t know how to go about it.“thank you baby” Danny rose up and kissed her. Elena tried not to flinch to reveal her inner most feelings for him. “ now you can be my date to the Harper holding anniversary dinner.********Two days later Elena stood with a champagne flute in her hands. Soft music filled the air as people danced stylishly to classical
Henry’s breath hitched in his throat as soon as he spotted Elena. He looked beautiful. Her ponytail style of hair, made her neck seen and it made her look too pleasing to the eye. He drink the rest of his champagne and went to get another.Today they were at the Harper. holding Anniversary. They were invited because Luther was a share holder there. Aside that, Henry had come to the party to inform them that Luther’s burial was tomorrow.“Focus” Henry whispered to himself as he saw Elena smile at a man. She looked as beautiful as ever. He had gone to the bar so she would stop making eye contact with him. He had spotted Danny with some other men and he did want to make a scene. For the sake of Luther.Henry stared at his almost finished glass of champagne and hissed.“Any problem?” Henry turned to find a woman beside him.“I want some Vodka” he said. “I will get that for you” she said while she went through the bar. Henry looked around and he could still door Elena laughing. He wonder
His muscles? It was all taut muscles and flesh. Elena was contemplating calling the hotel, on sending the wrong person to her room, when suddenly the back turned. It was none other but Henry. Elena's jaw went to the floor. Then when she noticed he was staring at her with an eye brow raised, she immediately became embarrassed. She thought that maybe Henry would think that she was ogling him. She felt an awkward silence between them. She cleared her throat.“erm… I didn’t hear you come in” she said looking everywhere but at Henry’s face.“yeah probably, because you must have dozed off in the bathroom.” He said before going back to his unpacking and me. They were to stay a mandatory one week honeymoon, of which Elena found weird since they weren’t married for love in the first place. Elena stole another look of him. She suddenly admired the way his sweats hung low on his waist. She immediately went to change into her nighties. “Claire!” Elena growled under her breath. Her friend had
Elena woke up to find Henry not in the room. She went to the bathroom and listen. There was no water running so she Yanked the door open. She ran to the telephone and called the receptionist.“Yes Mr. Barlow left the building very early in the morning. He paid for a breakfast for—” “ I am not hungry” she immediately hung up. She fought the urge to fling the phone to the nearest wall. What stopped her was that she remembered it was hotel property.As if that was not okay, Elena wore her clothes and on her way out of the, she got a message. It was a video. She mistakenly clicked on it and instantly regretted it. It was a sex video. She wanted to wave it aside because people could spam people with porn videos but then her eyes caught on something or rather someone. She clasped a hand over her mouth and a tear rolled out of her eyes. She knew Danny was going to keep begging. She wanted out of the relationship. She immediately hit the share button. Straight up to Danny. She called her fat
Three days earlier.When Henry emerged from the bathroom, he walked into the sitting room. Elena is sleeping soundly. Her long hair is tousled in a way that reminded him of their kiss. How he grabbed her hair as he tried to deepen his kiss. He rubbed the towel on his hair and walked into the room. Elena was his past and should stay there but his heart was saying something different. After he made sure she was, coveted well, he walked out of the room.**********“Boss everything is set for the funeral” Jackson told him on the phone. Henry made a turn at the end of the Street. He was going to his favorite designer.“have you spoken to the priest?” Henry asked.“yes he is on his way” Jackson replied.“ good. I am going to get my suit. Get the men ready” Henry instructed.“ Okay boss” he said.Henry got off the phone. Immediately his phone buzzed. He opened it to find it was a message. It was from Bella. She said Ruby was safe and Laura’s second bail was denied.He smiled. Laura’s proble
“Did you get his contact? “Laura asked.“Yes boss” he replied. Laura looked from left to right. It’s been pretty difficult in the cell. At first Laura had of her father’s burial from the lawyers. She begged then to do everything possible to get her out of there. They tried. They pulled all the strings but Laura’s bail was denied. To Laura’s surprise, she had been booked with another case. She couldn’t believe it. She asked the lawyer what the case was, and as he read it out to her, she immediately knew who had wanted to keep her in Cell. She was going to deal with Ruby. She sent out orders to get men to go kill get but then her lawyers stopped her. He said that even if as much as a hair on Ruby’s hair was remove, it would keep her in back. This irked her so bad. She told her men to go and attack Henry and his men. Finally she felt better, when her men called with news that they had shot and made Henry run out of the house. He was not with his gun.“Give it to me” she whispered harshl
